Mark1959 Posted 11 May , 2020 Share Posted 11 May , 2020 (edited) O'Donovan was discharged 28/1/19 due to GSW Right leg. Level of disability on card says 100% so clearly extremely severe https://www.fold3.com/image/645076519 So I think Terry would say No. Edited 11 May , 2020 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 11 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 11 May , 2020 Thank you Mark. Myself and George were discussing this. The problem is that it has to say TB in his records or folder3 attrrib. I know from past experience. Would that it were otherwise. Thank you for this Mark. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1959 Posted 11 May , 2020 Share Posted 11 May , 2020 (edited) Collins is 4409 RMF. Discharged GSW Buttocks attributable. Discharged 27/4/18. Cards say DoD 28/5/21 https://www.fold3.com/image/645006991 https://www.fold3.com/image/668471442 So should be a gimme to get him through Address Knockduff (?) Co.
